The following page has native Linux drivers that you can compile for
the bcm43xx chipsets:

Also, you could try using the drivers from this Feisty HowTo for
ndiswrapper. They've sourced them from the Compaq website(step 2b for
bcm4312 revision 01) and used cabextract. Or you could use the ZIP
file here - http://uploading.com/files/VXHOYZLY/bcm4312rev01.zip.html

Hi,
I am trying to configure wireless on my Dell inspiron 15 notebook
using centOS. This may seem like a repost. I had asked this question
about a month back but then i went home and had no wireless available
so wasn't able to try any of the suggestions. As suggested by Raj and
Karanbir I downloaded the driver for xp from the dell website and
tried to install it using ndiswrapper.
I unzipped the .exe and installed netathw.inf. ndiswrapper -l tells me
invalid driver! I expected this since the dell website states that the
xp driver applies to only the Wireless 1515 (11agn) WLAN half
mini-card (Atheros). I have a Dell Wireless 1397 802.11b/g Half Mini
Card. The driver for Vista seems to support this card. The problem now
is that I am unable to extract the .inf (or anything else) from .exe
provided for vista. I tried unzip, cabextract and even wine, but all
failed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
guru
